Today we take a look at the 'Majjhima Nikaya' or 'The Middle-Lenght Discourses of the Buddha' published by Wisdom Publications and translated by Bhikkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi.

*ABOUT THE BOOK*

The Majjhima Nikaya (-nikāya; "Collection of Middle-length Discourses") is a Buddhist scripture, the second of the five nikayas, or collections, in the Sutta Pitaka, which is one of the "three baskets" that compose the Pali Tipitaka of Theravada Buddhism. Composed between 3rd century BCE - 2nd century CE. This nikaya consists of 152 discourses attributed to the Buddha and his chief disciples.

The Majjhima Nikaya corresponds to the Madhyama Āgama found in the Sutra Pitikas of various Sanskritic early Buddhist schools, fragments of which survive in Sanskrit and in Tibetan translation. A complete Chinese translation from the Sarvāstivādin recension appears in the Chinese Buddhist canon, where it is known as the Zhōng Ahánjīng (中阿含經). The Madhyama Āgama of the Sarvāstivāda school contains 222 sūtras, in contrast to the 152 suttas in the Pāli Majjhima Nikāya. [1]

*BINDING & PAPER*

The book has a coated dust jacket and it's bound in a grey buckram. It is not smyth-sewn but instead bound in a hybrid binding. The headband is black, and the paper is acid-free, neutral and slightly cream-coloured.

*CONTENT*

The book is translation by Bhikkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi. It contains a preface, introduction and summaries by Bhikkhu Bodhi, and all of the 152 suttas together with notes.
